spot on with that reply about JB.
From talking to brokers and direct customers the one reason they did not use the learjets was because of this JB.

I ve been told a broker used their learjet (05/06) as they only flew in aircraft under 5 years old and it went tech.
JB decided not to inform the broker and replaced it with a 1980 citation ii.
When the broker found out JB said it was a like for like replacement. (ie light jets).
The broker said that they were not happy with it and the customer would want some sort of price reduction, JB response was "if you dont like it take us to court, and we will win".
That broker never used them again.

I also have been told that, when a broker put a client on one of the Learjets, a few days after the trip, a nice letter from the APPJ would arrive at the passengers address informing them about APPJ, This would apear that JB was targeting the brokers customer to steel future business.

I must say though all the other staff at APPJ are great and i hope you all find something very soon.
